Hi,

I don't know if there is a way to set locations and captions automatically during ingest based on the capture date and time.

It would be great if PM could do this job. I would like to take notes during travelling when and where I have taken photos. Based on a "definition file" I would like PM to set locations and captions to my photos based on the defined dates and times.

Example:

25.5.2016 8.00 - 8.35 -> London -> Tower
25.5.2016 8.50 - 9.20 -> London -> Buckingham Palace
25.5.2016 10.10 - 11.40 -> London -> London Eye
26.5.2016 9.00 - 10.10 -> Brighton -> Pier
...

Has anbody an idea how I can do that?

Thank you.

Best regards,
Claus

Time alone is not enough information to provide location.  Generally the feature would be to use GPS coordinates tagged (or imported via Import GPS Coordinates) on the photo to reverse-geocode (Reverse geocoding is the process of back (reverse) coding of a point location (latitude, longitude) to a readable address or place name).

PM does not currently offer this feature.  It is frequently requested and is something we plan to implement.

Hello Kirk,

OK, thank you for the quick response.

I am looking forward to seeing the functionality in one of the next versions of PM.

Best regards,
